Ethnocentrism, prejudice, and stereotype
•
1 like•497 views
This document defines ethnocentrism as viewing the world through the lens of one's own cultural filters and background. It involves judging other cultures based on the standards of one's own culture and often viewing other groups as inferior. While ethnocentrism is typically seen as negative, the document argues that it is a normal consequence of socialization and that everyone has some level of ethnocentrism, as we all learn to perceive and interpret others based on the culture we grow up in. Therefore, ethnocentrism itself is neither good nor bad, but rather a natural state of viewing the world through our own cultural perspectives.

Stereotypes, Prejudice and Discrimination in Psychology
this slides will help you in understanding Stereotypes, Prejudice and Discrimination with easy examples in Psychology.
prosocial behaviour
This document discusses different motivations for prosocial behavior. It defines prosocial behavior as helpful actions that benefit others without direct benefits to the person helping. Several hypotheses for motivations are described, including empathy-altruism, where helping makes one feel good; negative-state relief, where helping reduces one's own negative emotions; and empathetic joy, where helping brings positive emotions from making an impact. Genetic determinism is also discussed, where helping enhances passing on one's genes. The document concludes that people engage in prosocial behavior for both selfish and unselfish reasons, and different hypotheses try to explain these motivations, like reducing one's distress or feeling good from helping others.

Prejudice
Prejudice has cognitive, affective, and behavioral components known as stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. Stereotypes are beliefs about social groups while prejudice consists of negative feelings toward those groups. Discrimination involves differential actions toward group members. Gender stereotypes see women as kind but dependent and men as assertive but insensitive. Prejudice and discrimination stem from threats to social groups, such as threats to status, resources, or self-esteem. Changing attitudes requires addressing the underlying emotions that drive prejudice.
What is prejudice
Prejudice refers to prejudging someone or forming an opinion about them before knowing the relevant facts, usually in a negative way based on their group memberships. Stereotypes simplify our social world by reducing people to overgeneralized ideas about their group but can lead to prejudice when we assume certain characteristics of individuals based on their perceived group. Common types of prejudice include those based on gender, ethnicity/race, class, age, sexual orientation, disability, and more. It is important to be aware of our own prejudices and stereotypical thinking in order to prevent discrimination.
Prejudice
The document defines prejudice as a judgment formed before considering the facts that puts others at an unjust disadvantage. It discusses how prejudice arises from sources like socialization, competition over resources, and social learning of negative attitudes. Prejudice contains attitudes of favor/disfavor related to overgeneralized beliefs about social groups. The document also outlines steps that can be taken to reduce prejudice, such as direct intergroup contact, recategorization of groups, and cognitive interventions to reduce stereotyping.
Culture bound syndromes
This document provides an overview of culture bound syndromes. It begins with definitions of culture and culture bound syndromes. It then discusses the historical evolution of the concept from early documentation by explorers to inclusion in the ICD-10 and DSM-5. The document subdivides culture bound syndromes and discusses several common syndromes like Dhat Syndrome, possession syndrome, and koro. It also provides cultural explanations and approaches to management. Overall, the document examines culture bound syndromes from multiple perspectives including historical, diagnostic, and cultural frameworks.

An introduction to Ethnocentrism & Enculturation from the Cross-cultural Psychology Perspectives. A Presentation summary based on the book from Matsumoto, D. & Juang, L. (2007). Culture and Psychology (4th Ed.). Wadsworth.Aaron Beck
Aaron Beck is an American psychiatrist known as the father of cognitive therapy. He developed widely used assessment tools for depression and anxiety. Beck attended Brown University and Yale Medical School. He believed that depression stems from negative views of oneself, the world, and the future. Cognitive therapy aims to help patients overcome difficulties by identifying and changing dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors. It involves helping patients develop skills to modify beliefs and identify distorted thinking.
Ethnocentrism
Ethnocentrism is the tendency to view one's own ethnic culture as superior to others. Research has found evidence of ethnocentrism in every culture around the world, stemming from reasons like religion, language, customs, and history. While feeling pride in one's own culture is natural, ethnocentrism can lead one to view other cultures as inferior and behave in damaging ways towards those from other cultures. However, increasing globalization is helping people overcome ethnocentric thinking and take a more inclusive perspective of human society.

Lessem's book, Self Psychology: An Introduction, created by Luba Rascheff, MDiv Harvard University, for the Psycho-Spiritual Care and Therapy Practicum, Supervised Pastoral Education (SPE Basic II): Integrative Theory and Practice (EMP3551Y), taken in the Winter term of 2020 at the University of Toronto which explains Heinz Kohut's Self Psychology in brief.
Social cognition
Social cognition deals with encoding, storage, retrieval, and processing of information about others. It focuses on how we think about and make sense of people in our social world, and how that influences our behavior, feelings, and social interactions. Unconscious social schemas draw on past experiences and judgments to influence social cognition beyond available information. Salience and priming affect how certain social stimuli stand out and influence behavior. Person perception involves making inferences and impressions of others through interactions and appearances to form judgments and categorize people into social groups, which can influence behavior despite potential inaccuracies. Implicit personality theory assumes traits are linked, so finding one trait leads to assumptions of other linked traits that may influence social encounters.
Horney's theory
Karen Horney was a German psychoanalyst who developed theories about how social and cultural conditions, especially childhood experiences, shape personality. She believed that people whose needs for love and affection are not satisfied in childhood develop basic anxiety and hostility towards their parents. Horney identified three neurotic strategies people use to cope: moving towards people, moving against people, and moving away from people. She argued that normal individuals flexibly use all three strategies, while neurotics rigidly adhere to just one.
Aaron Becks Cognitive Therapy
Aaron Beck developed cognitive therapy, which emphasizes recognizing and changing negative thoughts and maladaptive beliefs. The theoretical assumptions of cognitive therapy are that people's internal communications can be accessed through introspection, clients' beliefs have personal meanings that can be discovered by the client rather than interpreted by the therapist. Basic principles of cognitive therapy include addressing arbitrary inferences, selective abstractions, overgeneralization, magnification and minimization, personalization, labeling and mislabeling, and dichotomous thinking. Effective cognitive therapists establish empathy and a therapeutic alliance while using cognitive and behavioral strategies through Socratic questioning to guide clients in self-discovery and change.
Choice Theory Reality Therapy-KLM Mason
William Glasser developed Choice Theory and Reality Therapy based on his experience working in psychiatric facilities. He emphasized personal responsibility and that people are motivated by their needs for belonging, power, freedom, and fun. Reality therapy focuses on the present and helping clients meet their needs effectively. It uses the WDEP process - exploring wants, evaluating current behaviors, and making plans. The approach aims to empower clients through self-evaluation and planning for the future.
The dark triad
The document discusses the Dark Triad, which consists of narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. Narcissism is characterized by an inflated self-image and feeling of grandeur. In mythology, Narcissus was cursed by the gods to fall in love with his own reflection after rejecting Echo. Sigmund Freud was the first to identify narcissism as a mental disorder in 1898. Narcissistic personality disorder can be grandiose or vulnerable. The seven deadly sins of narcissism are shamelessness, magical thinking, arrogance, envy, entitlement, exploitation, and bad boundaries.
Methodological issues in cross.pdf
Cross-cultural research presents unique methodological challenges to ensure comparability across contexts. Key issues include establishing equivalence in problem definition, constructs, measures, sampling, data collection and analysis. Specifically, researchers must select an appropriate unit of analysis, translate measures properly, use sampling to balance representativeness and comparability, standardize data collection conditions, and assess measurement equivalence in the analysis stage. Addressing these issues is important to establish validity and make accurate comparisons in cross-cultural research.
Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis was originated by Sigmund Freud and further developed by Carl Jung. [1] Freud believed that unconscious drives and early childhood experiences influence behavior and can be revealed through analysis of dreams, free association, and transference. [2] Jung expanded on Freud's work and focused on bringing unconscious aspects of personality into consciousness to aid psychological growth and balance different parts of the psyche like the ego and self. [3] Both aimed to treat mental disorders by liberating repressed fears and desires through analysis of the unconscious mind.
Social Identity. Sociology
This document discusses social identity and socialization. It defines identity as aspects of oneself including gender, race, ethnicity and religion. People acquire identity through socialization, learning expectations from their family and culture. There are primary identities formed in childhood and secondary identities like occupation. Different theories view identity formation, such as role learning theory focusing on learning social roles, symbolic interactionism seeing it as a creative process, and psychoanalytic theory emphasizing unconscious factors. In conclusion, roles become part of social identity and interaction involves self-presentation to others.
Prejudice (Social Psychology)
- Prejudice involves negative prejudgments or feelings toward others based on their group membership rather than their individual attributes. It can stem from emotional, social, cognitive, and personality factors.
- Stereotypes are overgeneralized beliefs about groups. They can be positive or negative and become problems when incorrectly applied to individuals. Stereotype threat describes how awareness of negative stereotypes can undermine performance.
- The fundamental attribution error involves explaining others' behaviors based mainly on internal factors rather than external situational influences. This satisfies the just-world hypothesis that people get what they deserve.
Lecture 3 culture and diversity culture and identity
This document discusses culture, identity, and their relationship. It defines culture as patterns of living, customs, traditions, and values shared by a group. Identity is defined as an individual's self-concept derived from their socialization. The document explores how culture and identity are influenced by factors like globalization, immigration, and technology. It examines theories of cultural and racial identity development and how social group membership can influence behaviors, opportunities, and self-perceptions.

The social construction of reality
The document discusses Thomas Luckman and Peter Berger's concept of the social construction of reality. It states that while things in the social world seem real, they are actually social constructions that we take for granted. It provides examples of social institutions like marriage, education, and the economy that have been constructed through our shared imaginations. It also discusses the role of primary and secondary socialization in teaching individuals what is considered real and important according to their society. Finally, it explains how the internalization of social norms and the "generalized other" allows people to develop a stable identity and view of reality that corresponds to what is socially constructed as real.

Attraction & Close Relationship
The document discusses several key concepts related to interpersonal attraction and close relationships, including:
1. Interpersonal attraction depends on the evaluator, similarities/differences between people, and the context of their interaction. Building close relationships fulfills needs for affiliation, intimacy, and emotional support.
2. Loneliness and social anxiety can block relationship formation. Attachment styles are influenced by early relationships. Reward and reinforcement theories explain attraction.
3. Factors influencing attraction include proximity, similarity, complementarity, competence, physical attractiveness, reciprocity, and self-disclosure. Relationships are evaluated using a social exchange theory framework.
4. Intimacy has physical, intellectual, and emotional dimensions and is

Ethnocentrism
The document defines ethnocentrism as viewing one's own group or culture as superior to others, as coined by William Graham Sumner. It discusses how ethnocentrism leads to stereotyping of outgroups and provides examples of ethnocentrism in various countries and cultures, including issues it can cause in the workplace when concerning language.
Social cognition
Social cognition involves how people think about themselves and the social world to make judgments and decisions. There are two types of thinking - automatic thinking which is quick and nonconscious, and controlled thinking which is deliberate and effortful. Schemas are mental structures that organize our knowledge about people and events. Schemas are useful but can also lead to biases as they influence what information we attend to and remember. Other cognitive shortcuts like heuristics and priming can also lead to errors in social cognition. Affect and cognition have a reciprocal relationship, as our feelings shape our thoughts and vice versa.

Cultural awareness refers to understanding differences between one's own culture and others, especially regarding attitudes and values. There are several levels of cultural awareness, from only recognizing one's own culture as valid to recognizing that different cultures can both complement each other and create new solutions. Key aspects of cultural awareness include being aware of one's own cultural influences, avoiding judging others, understanding variability within cultures, and increasing knowledge of different cultural practices through training. Managing cultural diversity requires recognizing and not fearing differences, suspending judgments, developing empathy, and building cultural knowledge.

It also examines results of socialization like perception, categorization and stereotypes, and limitations on socialization and understanding cultural differences.
Why do people get treated so poorly?
While people often wonder why humans treat each other poorly, stereotyping, prejudice, and ethnocentrism are often the causes. Stereotyping involves overgeneralizing about groups, prejudice is judging someone negatively based on appearance rather than character, and ethnocentrism believes one's own group is superior. These concepts are complex with stereotypes varying in direction, intensity, specificity and accuracy. Ultimately, humans categorize to understand the world, but stereotyping can negatively impact perceptions if not careful. Most treat others poorly to boost self-worth, but reducing prejudice involves communities working together toward common goals.
Soc 2113 ch 3 2017
Culture consists of the shared beliefs, values, and practices of a group. It includes both material aspects like objects and nonmaterial aspects like ideas and beliefs. Culture is learned and transmitted through socialization. It provides people with norms and rules about how to behave in different contexts. Cultural elements like values, beliefs, norms, symbols, and language all shape how a society functions and the lens through which its members view the world. Culture is always evolving as new ideas and technologies spread through diffusion and globalization. Sociological perspectives like functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism offer different views on the role and influence of culture.
Ethnocentrism By Liezel G. Matayom (1).pptx
Ethnocentrism is judging another culture based on the standards of one's own culture rather than the standards of that other culture. It involves viewing one's own culture as superior and applying its cultural values and standards to other cultures. This can lead to negative views of other cultures and result in discrimination or xenophobia. The opposite is cultural relativism, which involves understanding other cultures based on their own cultural contexts and perspectives rather than one's own. Ethnocentrism can cause problems in organizations by hindering flexible decision-making about foreign subsidiaries and promoting unrealistic comparisons and societal polarization.
Social, Political, and Cultural behavior and Phenomena
Every society has norms that guide appropriate behavior. Culture includes shared beliefs, values, and symbols learned from one generation to the next. It is integrated over time as societies adapt. Culture exists through both material items and abstract concepts like language, values, and beliefs. There are various types of social norms including folkways, mores, taboos, and laws, which differ in how strictly they are enforced. Understanding culture requires recognizing that values differ in each society and should be considered within their own context rather than being judged according to one's own culture.

This document provides an overview of cultural relativism, ethnocentrism, and xenocentrism. It discusses how cultural relativism is important for cultural understanding and avoiding ethnocentrism. Ethnocentrism is the view that one's own culture is superior, while cultural relativism recognizes that different cultures should be understood on their own terms rather than judged. The document also briefly discusses xenocentrism, which is the opposite view that other cultures are superior to one's own.
KEY CONCEPTS IN SOCIOLOGY.pptx
The document discusses key concepts in sociology including culture, norms, values, social structure, and social institutions. It defines culture as a system of symbols shared by a society that provides meaning and guides behavior. Norms are rules that specify appropriate behavior while values provide criteria for evaluating people and events. Social structure refers to the patterned relationships between social institutions, groups, and statuses that give direction to and constrain behavior. Important social institutions that every society develops to meet basic needs include family, religion, politics, education, and healthcare.

PRESENTATION 2 SOCIETY AND CULTURE.pptx
Society is defined as a group of people living in the same territory, relatively independent from outsiders, and sharing a common culture. A society exists through interactions between its members. Three classical theories about the origins of society are structural functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. Society functions through both visible written rules and invisible unwritten rules that guide people's daily interactions and behaviors. Culture is learned and shared among a society and encompasses beliefs, values, knowledge, and other aspects of a people's way of life.

What is Culture?
Culture is a complex concept that can be defined in various ways. Broadly, culture refers to the learned behaviors, beliefs, values, and customs that are shared by a group of people. It encompasses aspects like communication styles, norms, food, art, and clothing. Culture is passed down through generations, shaping how individuals and groups perceive and interact with the world. While cultures vary widely, there are also common elements like gender roles that are shared across societies. Culture plays a significant role in human development and social cohesion.
C1-Lesson-2.pptx
This document discusses the relationship between the self, society, and culture. It argues that the self is shaped by various external influences and social contexts rather than being a fixed, isolated entity. The document examines how institutions like family, gender roles, and language influence the development of one's sense of self and sense of identity. It also discusses different views of self, such as the idea that people have both a core "moi" and flexible, context-dependent "personne" aspects to their identity.
CCU
This document discusses cross-cultural communication and understanding. It notes that culture provides the lens through which people view the world. There are differences in communication styles, conflict attitudes, decision-making, and ways of knowing across cultures. These differences stem from underlying beliefs, values, expectations, and attitudes. It warns against ethnocentrism, discrimination, stereotyping, and cultural blindness when interacting across cultures. Stereotyping involves making broad generalizations about groups that are presented as always true, when in reality cultural differences are nuanced and individuals vary widely.
Individualistic Cultures
Individualistic cultures are those that stress the needs of the individual over the needs of the group as a whole. In this type of culture, people are seen as independent and autonomous.
Social behavior tends to be dictated by the attitudes and preferences of individuals. Cultures in North America and Western Europe tend to be individualistic.
A few common characteristics of individualistic cultures include:
Individual rights take center stage
Independence is highly valued
Being dependent upon others is often considered shameful or embarrassing
People tend to be self-reliant
In individualistic cultures, people are considered "good" if they are
strong,
self-reliant,
assertive, and
independent.
Sterotyping,aggression,prejudice
This document discusses stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination. It defines stereotypes as beliefs about groups, prejudice as negative feelings toward groups, and discrimination as negative actions toward groups. These concepts are related but can occur independently. Stereotypes are overgeneralized beliefs that ignore individual differences. Prejudice evolves from stereotypes and involves negative judgments of others without knowledge of facts. Discrimination occurs when negative beliefs and attitudes result in negative actions against individuals due to their group membership, such as in hiring discrimination. The document also discusses ways to counter prejudice, such as through education, increased contact between groups, and media responsibility.
Social perception-Social Psychology
This document discusses social perception and related concepts. It begins by defining self-concept and how we perceive ourselves. It then discusses social perception, which is how we form impressions of others based on social cues. Key aspects of social perception discussed include social beliefs like customs and traditions that influence perceptions, how moods and judgments affect social perception, and the expectations societies have of individual roles and behaviors. The document aims to outline the important factors that shape an individual's social perception within a given community or culture.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
